    Telemark skiing is dead.

    It's not looking good folks.

    Plus, you've got this:





    Seriously, it's dying... and dying FAST.

      Tele does not equal an excuse to suck at skiing.

        It really is amazing how many of my friends (that I've always respect as ripping tele-ers) have dropped the free heel like it was a new plague. ?! I guess that AT gear has finally totally shut down the whole "tele vs. alpine" argument.

              Big deal. Tanner Hall was dead long before telemarking.

                    The one thing alpiners never seem to get....telemark turning is more fun.
                    For me, it comes down to that.

                      My acid drenched brain won't allow me to make alpine turns.

                        Two years ago a good friend told me to fuck off when I said he should try AT gear or alpine in bounds. He bought his Dynafits last year and called me last week to see what alpine bindings would be a good choice.

                          Hey d-bag - here's something for you to think about: maybe (just maybe) not everybody here has their little panties in a wad 24/7 and flies into a rage whenever somebody disagrees with them. Maybe these same mags don't take this place uber-seriously. Maybe this even includes the vast majority of the people who post here as opposed to you and like 20 other thin-skinned douchebags. Just something to think about. -JER

                            Yep, telemarking has definitely taken a weird turn. The original reason I started was to have the ability to tour away from the ropes and not have to worry about my alpine wreckers. It seems that telemark gear has gotten heavier and AT has gotten incredibly lighter than ever.

                            When I started tele'ing it was kind of the opposite. I've gone to locking them down on occassion and still letting them free on occassion, but if I want to charge inbounds I'm definitely locking them down, if I'm skiing with Mrs. Mtnjam I usually free them.

                            BTW, if you want to loose some holiday weight I would not suggest doing it by knocking your front teeth out
